Engage Online Students with Targeted Feedback

Featured Higher Education Presenter: Jill Schiefelbein

Imagine discovering a group of people willing to give you targeted and specific feedback that could improve the online courses you’re teaching now as well as every online course you teach in the future. Better still, they will do it for free.

These people aren’t part of some secret society or a marketing gimmick. They are your students. And when you give them the chance to tell you how you’re doing, they’ll probably start doing better too. That’s right—when you create an online classroom atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable sharing constructive criticism, performance rises all around.

That’s the phenomenal thing about communication. It’s good for everyone.

Learn how easy and rewarding it can be to open the communication channels from Jill Schiefelbein during this Magna Online Seminar.
